Questions about osteopathic medicine? Luke Rauch (lrauch@western.edu), a representative of COMP-Northwest, will be on the Newberg campus Thursday, Nov. 29, to answer questions about medical school admissions, curriculum and more.

COMP-Northwest is an osteopathic medical school located in Lebanon, Ore., and is part of Western University of Health Sciences, located in California.

For the next three weeks there will be tubs and jugs out in living areas, Bauman Auditorium, the Bon, Mail Services and other places on campus. Just put in your spare change to help the victims of Hurricane Sandy.

Students: If you are unable to make it home for Thanksgiving, then we have an event for you. A student-run Thanksgiving will be taking place on Thursday, Nov. 22. You can come and stay for as long as you desire.

Help cook all day or just come for the meal and night festivities. NO NEED TO BRING ANYTHING, Just yourself. You are more than welcome to bring food or something else (a board game, maybe), but only if you have the ability to do so. Seriously, you can come and just eat, hang out, and enjoy the festive company of others.

It will be held right across the street from Lemmons at 603 N. Meridian St. (big white house on the corner).

Invite any and all students–I do not want anyone to have Thanksgiving by themselves! Have it in warm and friendly company. Make new friends.

Possible activities:

• Swing dancing
• Watch a movie
• Cooking
• Crafts
• Eating
• Games
• More eating
• Getting to know others
• Chilling out
• Telling stories
• Whatever else we can imagine!

My hope and dream is to create a friendly environment where students can feel like they are at home for Thanksgiving. Though I know that may not be possible, I want to get close.

Please contact me if interested.
